1/2 Day Durango Rafting Trip

Bound Down the Animas River for 2 hours

Enjoy a Durango rafting half day river trip through town! Get a different view of Durango through the rapids and enjoy the scenic beauty south of town. The Lower Animas is a popular river for visitors and locals alike! Learn the history of the region and stories of local traditions! Paddle along with the guide, or just sit back and relax as the guide does all the work— your choice!

Later in the season, water levels do get lower and all rapids can be downgraded a half to a full Class. This causes the river to become more technical as you bounce and spin-off of rocks that are usually submerged in the river. A Durango rafting half trip offers a great mild trip option for ages 4 and up, but if you’re looking for a bit more adventure, try your hand at inflatable kayaks (ages 11 and up)!

Durango Rafting Half Day trips start at $74.00.

At high water levels (usually early June) our age limits may increase or younger kids may be shuttled around the larger Class III rapid.

All itineraries are subject to change due to water conditions.

Wetsuits are highly recommended from May through June, and wetsuit boots are recommended all season. Rentals are available!

Durango tends to get afternoon rain showers, so sometimes you get more water than you pay for!

While you are rafting, be sure to make accommodations for your four-legged friends. While the water temperatures are cold, the outside temperatures are very hot! Dogs cannot be kept in a vehicle while you raft.
